Photos are on Ipod but I can't see them

In the past I have successfully put pics on and off my ipod. Right now I can see in itunes and on my ipod my photos are there but I can't see the actual picture. All I see on my ipod is the outline of the picture and in slide show settings I get a black screen.
I took all the photos off and put them back on and still nothing but a blank screen.
Help?

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

HI, I have a Canon Pixma MG5250 printer and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto. All my photos are in iPhoto but I can't access them when the printer's 'photo print' box comes up. Any suggestions? thanks

Hi,
I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
I now have a Canon Pixma Printer MG 5250 and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto, where all my folders of photos are in the computer.
All other aspects of the printer such as scanning and printing documents are working. When I open the printer's
'photo print' box on my Mac, it cannot access iPhoto.
I would really appreciate any feedback and suggestions as to what to do.
thanks.

If you want to print a photo that's in your library you should do so from iPhoto. Select the photo, crop to the size you want to print and type Command+P to start the print process. In the Print window select the paper size and print size, printer and then click on the Print button.

I downloaded songs to my iPod but i can't see them in iTunes under devices?

I created a playlist and transferred it to my iPod shuffle, but when I connect the shuffle to iTunes, I can't see the songs listed under Devices/iPod. The only i see is the Software License agreement but I've already agreed & saved this to my PC.

Sounfs like they are corrupted
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Both the download and cookie exception dialogs are empty. I know there are entries there but I can't see them. This has been a problem since release 5.0 on Mac OSX.

They're empty, no entries. When I download a file I can see the download progress but once the download is finished the entry disappears.
The Cookie Exceptions list is always empty. But I know the list contains entries because I have Firefox configured to ask me about allowing cookies. So there should be many entries with sites either allowed, allowed for session, or denied.

I had the same issue: Exception list empty, but exceptions still present.
I've inspected my permissions.sqlite file and found an entry with permission set to -1. After changing this to 1, all exceptions were visible again.

My pictures are there but i can't see them help!!!

I need help i have iphoto 4 and something happened where it has the pictures there but i can't see them. Its 500 pictures in my libary but they are all blank put the outline of the picture and its shape. i imported new pictures and they show up but not my old ones please let me know what i did or how i can get them back also under photo library i have a sub folder titled recovered photos and recovered photos 1 but i don't have any options on how to recover them or get them back please help me i am very worried!
thanks lisa

Here's a way to possibly preserve some of the roll information while importing the old library into a new one. With iPhoto 4 you have to remove the thumbnail files from the source library because V4 will import them as normal files and really mess up the new library. Here's how to go about it.
1 - duplicate the current iPhoto Library folder - (Command-D)
2 - run a search on just that folder as follows:
TIGER:
a. open the folder and type Command-F
b. set Kind is Images and Size is less than 100KB.
PANTER:
a. select the old iPhoto Library folder and type Command-F
b. set the search criteria to: Name contains "jpg" and Size is less than 100KB.
This will find all of the thumbnail files in your library.
3. select them all in the Search Results window and drag to the trash.
4 - open iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, create a new library.
5 - select the File->Import menu option. Go to the old library folder that you just cleaned out and select it. Click on Import.
That will import just your full size photos and keep some of the roll organization. You will also have the original files of those you edited previously in there. You may want to go thru and get rid of the original or edited version as you see fit.
Once you're satisfied you've go all of your photos safely in the new library you can delete the old one and the duplicate of it that you made.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

My pictures are there but i can't see them.

I went on iphoto to put on some picutres from my digital camera and the pics went on the computer fine but as i was editing the pics iphoto began to work really really slow. so i restarted and went back on but it's was still really really slow. now besides the fact that it's slow, when the program does show up my pics are there but i can't see them, all there is, is the outline of the box where the pics are but no pictures. i'm not sure if i got a bad file or a bug. so if anyone can help me out that would be great.

Hi Ryan,
If you can give more information it would be great.
What kind of camera do you have?
What version of iPhoto are you running?
How much free space is on your HD?
You can try a rebuild to see if that might help. Get back with results.
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

I downloaded the Vevo and Cityville apps, and iTunes says they're on my iPod, but I can't find them. Is there some place they go on the iPod?

Try using the Spotligh search feature on the iPod. To get there, swipe the Home screen fully to the right.
Also, if they are Games, they could be in the Game Center.folder

Hey there MattSK123,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are unable to see either of your devices in the sidebar of iTunes after a recent update. A number of issues could cause this type of behaviour, and would recommend starting with the troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
If the issue is not resolved, I would next re install iTunes from either of the following articles depending on the version of Windows you have:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My photos just became empty boxes, if I click on them they open, but I can't see them at a glance. Anyone know why? thanks

My photos on iphotos just became empty boxes, bordered by white intermittent lines. If I click on a photo it comes up, but I can't see what each photo is at a glance. Any ideas how to resolve this? thanks

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the options to rebuild the thumbnails.

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.

My wife's and my photos go from Iphones to the Cloud. She sees them on her IPad but I can't see them on my MacPro. What do I do?

This is very helpful. It seems my IPhoto is too old and can't get on the ICloud for photos yet. I will try the upgrade.

My eom lightning charger says its unsupported and acts like a knock off and apps appear to be running in background draining battery but I can't see them. Upgraded to iOS 7 phone only lasts 1/2 day. Notifications are all off.

I'm having trouble with my iCloud photos. I thought i could be a little sneaky and take a photo of my photos that were more than 30 days old, so they would be uploaded along with my new photos. that part worked, but i can't upload them to Snapfish?!

Any thoughts? I'm bummed. I've got a few hundred photos on my iPhone that I'd like to move seemlessly - or somehow at all.

hopefully something in here is helpful?

Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.
